I’ve tended to keep away from "all-in-one" style computers due to their lack of expansion and upgrading capabilities. However, with the rapid pace of current technology and the progress being made in processing, data storage and throughput, are traditional desktop style workstations becoming a thing of the past? With more and more video being shot to solid state media or memory cards, there isn’t as much need for breakout boxes and interfaces with tape decks. I do almost all my short form projects and motion graphics on my laptop. I work long form projects on my desktop, but with the introduction of things like Thunderbolt, it seems like I could save some money in the long term by opting for something like an iMac instead of a Mac pro.
What say you, B-rollers?
